No Danger for Cleveland.

Speclil W llle JlODt
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Col. William
P. Wood, the keeper of the old capitol
prison during the war, and the man who
established the secret service of the
treasury department; a man who knows
all of the crooks and criminals of the
country, says: 1T is useless for any
one to start any hue and cry of danger
to Cleveland during his coming trip
The fellows who are lawless and would
injure him if they could, merely with
anarchical intent, are towards. Herr
Most and that class of agitators are
afraid OF their shadows. They make up
with their mouths what they lack Of
courage IN their hearts. They will in
cite Others to do violent deeds, but they
will always keep away from danger
themselves. The president will be as
safe on the cars and in the cities he will
visit as he would be in the White house
or at Oak View. Some rude and ignor-
ant fellows may shoot at him with their
mouths, but with nothing elSe.''

THE COTTON CROP.
Falling Off in the General Average
Four Points.

New ORLEANS, Aug. THE monthly
crop report of the New Orleans Cotton
World. in continuation of the national
cotton exchange statistical system, says:
The month of July has brought some
deterioration in crops, the general av-
erage having fallen four points, the fig
ures of condition being reduced to 80,
against IS last year, 70 the year before
and 81 in 1884. The most unfavorable
conditions have existed in Texas, where
the protracted hot and dry spell has
greatly lowered the June prospects,
with further damage imminent. In the
lower valley of the Mississippi there
was an excess of moisture up to about
the Goth, which prevented thor

tiles, and caused too rank a
growth of weeds, which has reduced the
early fruitage. This has been more par
ticularly the case in the bottoms. Worms
have also appeared in many localities
and while no particular damage has yet
been inflicted, serious loss is appre-
hended by some of our correspondents.
In the upper portion of the valley the
weather was more favorable and the
June expectations were more nearly
maintained. There has been some aban-
donment of lands and deterioration Of
stands in working out, but the percent
age of loss from this cause is smaller
than usual. The condition by states is:

The London Fire.

LONDON, Aug. Fire engines are
still playing upon the ruins of White
ley's establishment, which is completely
gutted. The loss is estimated at from
93OO, 900 to $500, 900. Three bodies have
been eXtricated from the ruins. 1t is
believed that there are four more
bodies buried in the ruins, as
there were cries of distress heard after
an explosion, which occurred while the
fire was burning. Whiteley had the
greatest difficulty in obtaining insur-
ance. He offered high premiums with
out avail, the insurance companies con-
ceiving that somebody had spite
against him. They were willing, how
ever, to insure his private residence
and those of his employees.

fact was that Mcdonald was elected
treasurer to fill a vacancy, the vacancy
having been caused by his own failure
to file bond when previously elected.
Mrs. Golf promptly began proceedings

was closed yesterday. An order of the
